Alrighty.
Some new notes.
Again I’ll just be transcribing from my iphone, so the notes will probably be scattered.
Dad tried two sprays of Instant Gentleman one day on the way to the mall. This guy came the wrong way down a one way street. The other car kind of pulled aside to let us through, but the street was too narrow so dad backed up to let him through instead.
Normally dad would chew the other guy out for blocking traffic like that. At the very least he would say something to them. He didn’t say a thing. After they passed, there was a moment of silence. I don’t know about dad and his GF, but I was honestly a little shocked. Usually he jumps at the chance to yell at someone like that. Dad broke the silence jokingly wondering if it was because of the spray. He didn’t know what I had sprayed him with.
Later he reported brighter colors upon application - brighter sky. He also felt calm, associated color: light blue.
Oh yah, on the way out he held the door open for a couple people. In Korea, people have a bad habit of just walking through without saying thank you. I think my dad kind of stopped doing that as a result of bad manners. That day he opened the doors almost instinctively. More over, the two women who walked through bowed thank you. Dad also commented on his behavior.
Dad’s GF tried Instant Openness. She liked it the best. She said it made her ‘normal’, not ‘high’ like IS. She didn’t report much else other than being calmed. Associated color: vivid green. I want her to try regular IS again to see if she experiences something similar to last time. Details are in Andrew’s ISE thread. Instant Shine EXTREME (x8) - #79 by Phya
Testing in Korea is hard. There are lots of social barriers as well as cultural differences. I wish I had brought along A314 to test how well A314’s DHV works here in Korea. Value seems to be interpreted almost exclusively by material goods by the majority of people here. It’s a little sick actually. Some of these couples seem miserable. Douches putting up with bitches because those are the hottest girls they can pull with money alone. Bitches put up with the douches because he buys her shit that a poorer guy wouldn’t be able to. What makes it sick is that they both seem to realize it, but put up with it anyways because it’s the status quo.
Maybe I’ll have a better understanding if I come back with more experience, go out a bit more (instead of being with family almost 24/7)
Social barriers - meaning barriers as a result of society’s rules. Korean society is highly segmented by social roles. Your relationship with someone and their status in relation to your own status dictates the manner in which they can appropriately interact with you. Thus, even if pheromones are effective, responses to them will be heavily filtered and censored.
I think that is part of the limitation of this trip. If I could communicate better in Korean, I could open conversations to create situations where it would be appropriate to be friendly or at the very least, more forward.
As for myself, Instant Gentleman + IS is cool. Nothing overly special as far as combos go. Safe and reliable combo. I have yet to try Instant Gentleman with anything else here.
I tried mx203 at the mall the same day my dad tried IG. 3 sprays of mx203 to the throat. I don’t know how well I applied though because I did it while walking outside, trying to be somewhat inconspicuous.
I feel that respect mixes will get DIHL much more than social mixes would. That’s part of the reason why I’m a little miffed I didn’t bring A314.
I tried 3 sprays of p74 (12.5mu/spray), nice, light, almost…flowery? People seem to be responsive. Our dog perked up right away when I put on the p74, but that might have also been because I was leaving the house. He was very friendly and behaved as if he wanted to play.
